Which Outdoor Living System Is Right For You?
Choosing between a louvered pergola, glass veranda and garden pod is not always straightforward. Each option creates a different type of outdoor living space, so the right choice depends on how you want to use the area.
Louvered Pergolas
A louvered pergola is one of the most flexible ways to improve your garden, patio or terrace. The adjustable roof allows you to manage sunlight and shelter throughout the day, giving you greater control over how your outdoor space feels and functions.
When the weather is bright, the roof blades can be angled to create shade while still allowing airflow. When rain arrives, the blades can be closed to provide cover. Optional side screens, glazing, lighting and heating can also be added to create a more comfortable space for longer periods of the year.
- Wall-mounted louvered pergolas for patios and terraces
- Freestanding louvered pergolas for open garden spaces
- Adjustable aluminium roof systems
- Integrated lighting and heating
- Side screens or glazing for extra protection
- Rain, wind and sun sensor options
Glass Verandas
A glass veranda is ideal if you want to create a permanent covered area outside your home without losing natural light. It provides shelter from rain and helps make your patio, garden or terrace more usable throughout the year.
Glass verandas are particularly effective for properties where the outdoor area sits directly outside bifold doors, sliding doors or French doors. They allow you to step outside even when the weather is changeable, creating a smoother connection between the home and garden.
A glass veranda may be right for you if you want:
- A covered patio area
- Reliable rain protection
- A bright and open outdoor space
- A structure that does not block natural light
- A sheltered area for outdoor furniture
- A system that can be upgraded with screens or glazing
Garden Pods & Glass Garden Rooms
Garden pods and glass garden rooms offer a more enclosed outdoor living solution. They are designed for homeowners who want to use their outside space in more comfort across different seasons, with added protection from wind, rain and cooler weather.
Unlike a simple canopy or patio cover, a garden pod can create a more room-like environment. Depending on the system, it can include sliding glass doors, side glazing, screens, heating, lighting and automation. This makes it suitable for entertaining, dining, relaxing or creating a sheltered garden retreat.
Garden pods can be designed for:
- Outdoor dining areas
- Covered seating spaces
- Garden entertaining areas
- Hot tub covers
- Sheltered patios
- All-season relaxation spaces
- Homes where wind protection is important

Markilux 6000 Awnings in Seaford

Markilux MX3 Awning Installation Textured Tiger Black, Wimbledon SW19
The client required a versatile patio area for day and night use to complement their house renovation.
Markilux 620 Awning Installation in Haslemere
The client required effective light reduction for two upstairs bedrooms. With inward-opening doors and limited space, external window roller blinds provided the ideal solution.
Pergola awning Installation in Reading
Our brief was very simple and to the point – Our customer required an awning to run the full 8.5 meters across the back of the house and cover the terrace area to provide shade and rain protection from above as well as low sun in the evening that shone directly into the lounge.
2 Markilux 990 Awnings with Crank Gear Operation in Surrey, KT4
Our client in Worcester Park wanted a very simple cost-effective solution to the ground floor single story extension.
Pergola Installation in Purley, Surrey
Our client, Mr W, contacted Aquarius Blinds looking for coverage for the terrace area at his house in Purley, Surrey.
The project brief only really detailed the problem the client had. In addition to this, the fitting area was a single-story part of the house and a single awning (without special spreader support plates) would have also caused a structural problem. The area was approximately 8 meters by 5 meters with York flagstone paving.
Markilux 770 Tracfix Awning, Anthracite Grey in Wimbledon, London SW19
Our client wanted to create a comfort zone and a peaceful area out of the elements of the sun and rain. The brief with this project was very simple, manufactured within a few weeks and fitted in 2 ½ hours, creating an area to enjoy time in the garden.
